   Just a faithful stargazer sharing my funky story My love affair began in my 13th summer over f-f-f-fifty years ago. Wandering through Woolworths with my big sister Anne, we headed to the weight scale for a zodiac scroll, my first, and I'll never forget what it said: 'Your perfect mate is Gemini', the zodiac sign of Johnny Halvatzes, and I knew I'd found the Holy Grail. Six months later Anne brought home Linda Goodman's Sun Signs and my relief rose like the Sun as I learned I'm not supposed to 'be more like your quiet little sister, GAWD!' [oh yes, the quiet ones..] Sun Signs is beautifully written and so brutally true that it's laugh-out-loud funny, while celebrating the divine differences in all of us. And it really should be REQUIRED READING for all tormented teenagers.  I carried that book everywhere for two years and read to anyone who indulged me, hundreds between school and the city buses alone. Sun Signs ignited my passion and the Aquarian New Age and I'm one of many millions profoundly grateful to Linda Goodman for lighting the path to wisdom. First-Ever Featured NYT Best Seller!      and I swear I didn't marry my husband to share her name, though it did turn out to be the best thing about...oh never mind The 70s were a heady time and Anne & I attended lectures with acclaimed astrologers just bus stops away in Boston. Then serendipity descended in '74 when savvy astrologer Paul Guercio moved to our town to set up shop, doing local radio shows and holding intimate classes, with floor pillows. So Anne & sauntered to 83 Sycamore to expand our minds in cozy comfort.    In the early 80s Anne went off to make babies and Paul ahem mentored me for four instructive years. I booked his clients, made his coffee & tagged along to his Brudnoy gigs - potent stuff for a Somerville townie. In the mid-80s I went off to make babies [coz i'm a townie] and watched Paul's progress from afar. In the early 90s he was approached by a government physicist to collaborate on a programmed forecasting tool they called TimeTraks. The two made political forecasts for over 20 years as the Merlin Project and even dazzled Larry King.   Dr. Hart & Paul ......................................... In the early days I'd witnessed Paul's emotional burnout after readings and I knew they weren't for me; I'd much rather show how it's done to help people help themselves. So, pregnant with my third blessing and inspired through my first Mac, the BirthPrint & FutureGraph were conceived. Trifecta! While raising my family I wrote stuff, created a website & generated a small customer base that allowed time for other pursuits. And in 2016 I revisited the past, answered inquiries & booked appointments for Paul's podcasts. In 2019 Paul passed on, his partner departed & TimeTraks is no longer public. wink-wink It's all terribly tragic, but Paul left behind compelling insights, provocative forecasts, thousands of grateful friends & clients and practical advice to his students to keep it simple and I do. And his praises are well worth singing. And his coattails are a blast.  Paul was my friend, mentor & tormenter and I'm grateful to have known him for 45 illuminating years. And though I don't have an ounce of his ambition, I do have a dream to dispel the fallacies that repel interest in the singular study of the soul that's stood the test of time. Thankfully the world library is literally at our fingertips to counter the falsity and suppression, and millions of minds are expanding as we speak. Thank you for visiting. I hope you see something you like.

"Heaven sends down its good and evil symbols and wise men act accordingly." ~ Confucius "Perhaps there is a pattern set up in the heavens for one who desires to see it, and having seen it, to find one in himself." ~ Plato "We need not feel ashamed of flirting with the zodiac. The zodiac is well worth flirting with." ~ D.H. Lawrence "Do not Christians and Heathens, Jews and Gentiles, poets and philosophers, unite in allowing the starry influences?" ~ Sir Walter Scott Astrology compels the soul to look upward and leads us from this world to another." ~ Plato "These auspicious aspects, which the astrologers subsequently interpreted for me, may have been the causes of my preservation." ~ Goethe "The question of all questions for humanity, the problem which lies behind all others and is more interesting than any of them, is that of the determination of man's place in nature and his relation to the cosmos." ~ T.H. Huxley "Men should take their knowledge from the Sun, the Moon and the Stars." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson "We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born." ~ Dr. Carl G. Jung "To understand correctly the meaning of the words Alchemy and Astrology, it is necessary to understand and to realize the intimate relationship and identity of the Microcosm and Macrocosm, and their mutual interaction." ~ Paracelsus "Future medicine will be the medicine of frequencies." ~ Albert Einstein "There is no better boat than a horoscope to help a man cross over the sea of life." ~ Varahamihira "A child is born on that day and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual karma." ~ Sri Yukteswar Giri "It's common knowledge that a large percentage of Wall Street brokers use astrology." ~ Donald Regan "Without astrology man treads, as it were, in the dim twilight of ignorance." ~ Luke Dennis Broughton, The Elements of Astrology "We do not ask for what useful purpose the birds do sing, for song is their pleasure since they were created for singing. Similarly, we ought not to ask why the human mind troubles to fathom the secrets of the heavens. The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment." ~ Johannes Kepler "Astrology is one of the most ancient Sciences, held in high esteem of old, by the Wise and the Great. Formerly, no Prince would make War or Peace, nor any General fight in Battle, in short, no important affair was undertaken without first consulting an Astrologer." ~ Benjamin Franklin as Richard Saunders [disputed] "The value of astrology. . .is not its power to predict what the gods have in store for humans, but its ability to reveal the god-like powers that reside in the depths of every human being." ~ Glenn Perry, Ph.D. "We are merely the stars' tennis-balls, struck and banded which way please them." ~ John Webster "An Astronomer who denies Astrology, is like a butcher who recognizes the brain but is unaware of its transmission of waves." ~ Ahmed Hulusia, From Friend to Friend "The Vegetative Universe, opens like a flower from the Earths center In which is Eternity. It expands from Stars to the Mundane Shell. And there it meets Eternity again, both within and without." ~ William Blake "It's my view that those who use simplistic models to disprove astrology are violating the principles of the philosophy of science. Any number of theories may be shown not to work, but to say it follows that no theory of astrology can work is just bad science. It totally rules out scientific method. So, I came to the conclusion that they were totally unscientific - a form of rationalized bigotry cloaked in academic language." - Percy Seymour "If you look at this solar system, it is a machine that is designed to create life on this particular planet, and to preserve it over long periods of time to allow development." ~ Whitley Strieber "Astrology interested us, for it tied men to the system. Instead of an isolated beggar, the farthest star felt him and he felt the star. However rash and however falsified by pretenders and traders in it, the hint was true and divine, the soul's avowal of its large relations and that climate, century, remote natures as well as near, are part of its biography." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson "That we can now think of no mechanism for astrology is relevant but unconvincing. No mechanism was known, for example, for continental drift when it was proposed by Wegener. Nevertheless, we see that Wegener was right, and those who objected on the grounds of unavailable mechanism were wrong." ~ Carl Sagan "It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves; we are underlings." ~ William Shakespeare "There is no better boat than a horoscope to help a man cross over the sea of life." ~ Varahamihira "A child is born on that day and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual karma." ~ Sri Yukteswar Giri "I find my zenith doth depend upon A most auspicious star, whose influence If now I court not, but omit, my fortunes Will ever after droop." ~ William Shakespeare "The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethlehem still shine as brightly over the Empire State Building and your front yard today..." ~ Linda Goodman "All of us are truly and literally a little bit of stardust." ~ William Fowler "I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of stars makes me dream." ~ Vincent Van Gogh "The word science means knowledge from a latin root. Nescience is the opposite of knowledge, or ignorance. Modern science began with a theological concept, that God is a mathematician and the language of God is Geometry [but] it's been taken over by persons of demonic mentality as the vehicle for presenting the philosophy of atheism." ~ Dr. Richard L. Thompson, author of Forbidden Archaeology "The cosmos is a vast living body, of which we are still parts. The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins. The moon is a great nerve center from which we quiver forever. Who knows the power that Saturn has over us, or Venus? But it is a vital power, rippling exquisitely through us all the time." ~ D.H. Lawrence |
